The other week I watched the film "Bright star" on TV. I loved the costumes, especially Fanny Brawne's high-fashion Regency outfits, but I found Charles Brown's beard incongruous. Surely a gentleman would not have worn a full beard in that era? I always understood that they came back into fashion in the mid-19th century.
